2 mile test
Transcript
I just got back from a workout on the track, but Mike was there. Mike texted me. Mike is my coach. He said, can you do or can you find somebody to piece you through a two mile in ten minutes? And I said, sure. I'd never run a two mile in ten minutes. I don't even know what that feels like. And the problem is when Mike's there, you can't slack. He's watching. Obviously, you have to perform. And so we get out tier, and I'm running. And by my by lap six, my legs are blown. My heart is beating in my ears, and I've never felt my heart rate so high. We came through the first mile at 05:03 and then finished at 10:12. So didn't run the two mile in ten minutes, but was still a good test to see where we're at.
